Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsweetened almond milk
– 1/2 cup cold vegan butter
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 carrots, peeled and diced
– 2 celery stalks, diced
– 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 teaspoons dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried sage
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 1 cup diced potatoes
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the almond milk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. In a large skillet, sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms over medium heat until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and sage, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the vegetables with 1/4 cup of flour and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the almond milk and vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the frozen peas and diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the filling to the pie dish and top with the dough, crimping the edges to seal.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
